A black squirrel silhouette sits upright with its characteristic bushy tail curving upward, sprouting delicate flowering stems and leaves from its body in a whimsical fusion of animal and botanical forms. The composition uses stark black shapes against a soft beige ground with a warm tan border, creating a contemplative and poetic mood through its combination of nature and surrealism. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
